The pairing of black and white is so crisp and clean, it's no wonder it works well in the bathroom. After all, where else is that clean feeling more essential? See some of our favorites after the jump...

It was this renovation by Anna at Door Sixteen that originally put the idea into our heads, then it seemed like we were seeing black and white bathrooms everywhere, and in all sorts of styles. The pairing really is so classic and versatile, that it works with all sorts of decorating schemes.

We like the use of natural elements (the jute basket and plant) and a neutral paint color to keep the room from feeling too stark with all the graphic black and white elements.

Woah, we'd love to get a house tour from whatever fat cat bathes here. Is that a candelabra? A giant plasma? We like to think this is the tiny studio apartment of someone who just really likes to bathe.
